It also has the old 4 bolt TRX wheels and Michelin tires that are wearing thin. I was agonizing over the thought of replacing the wheels and tires because the Michelins, if available, are way to expensive, and no one will take the responsibility to mount them.

When I pull the car out of storage next year, I'll get some of those tires and "smoke" 'em with my massive 190HP 5.0. :-) Happy days are here again. Dick in MN

That's a neat car you have there, Dick. I too would be happy to find tires that mount to the old original wheels. Sure you could swap wheels from a later Fox car, but then it would lose that original factory look.

They're metric and sizes don't correspond with typical wheels and tires produced in the US.
